His Blue Moon Princess
Chapter 87

What's going on? I've never seen William look so shaken up... He gasps and raises his eyes towards Sylviana. "Was this... real?"

She nods.

"Yes. I'm really sorry, but you needed to see the truth."

He shakes his head and wipes his tear away. Everyone is looking at the two of them while William breathes in, trying to hold back his emotions. Did Sylviana show him something just now? It looked like she was only slightly touching his head, though. My cousin regains his composure after a few seconds and turns to Damian.

"It seems like I owe you an apology, Black."

An apology? What is he talking about? But William isn't looking at Damian with eyes full of anger anymore. Instead, he looks calmer and resolute. I exchange a look with Liam, but he doesn't seem to know anymore, either. My mate frowns and turns to Sylviana. "What was that?"

"A glimpse of the past... About what truly happened to their family."

"You can do that?" I ask, surprised.

Sylviana nods, with a smile.

"Witches can obtain the memories of their ancestors and, if powerful enough, we can get others to see those of their own family too. I showed your cousin the last days of Queen Diane, when the Blue Moon Clan was attacked." "What happened?" Asks Damian.

"Your father did chase the vampires to the North, but... It only led them into the dark witch's hands."

I gasp. So they didn't attack the Blue Moon Clan because of Damian's father, but because the witch used them to get to my family. Exactly the same way she tried to do so a few weeks ago here, in Silver City... "You're saying... She killed them?" I ask.

"Not directly, but she most likely instigated it. Judah Black only was wrong for sending her more vampires to use, but she would have attacked the Blue Moon Clan sooner or later anyway, because of the Royal Family. Queen Diane died trying to stop her from getting to her descendants."

That means my mom, Elena's father and the two of us... I can't believe they met such a terrible and sad end. How did our grandmother felt, trying to protect us until the end? And what happened to our parents? I wish I could ask more to Sylviana, but we have more pressing matters at end.

At least, William isn't showing any animosity towards Damian or his brothers anymore. The Jones, too, watched the whole scene with deep interest.

"Are you saying... The Sapphire Moon might consider an alliance with the Blood Moon?" Asks Andrew Jones.

William seems hesitant. This could be decisive. If William was willing to stop this fighting with Damian's Clan, we could actually get closer to an alliance, and working together as well. Moon Goddess, this would be enough. If the Sapphire Moon decides not to ignore the Blood Moon Clan anymore and actually work with us, most of the Packs would follow. It's obvious the Jones would, for starters. Even Tiffany Pearl is looking with interest at Sylviana, and standing right next to Vincent.

Next to William, a man is already discussing with Lissandra, probably his Beta. But the Purple Alpha has her eyes set on the Kings, and so do I. Because if William agrees to a peace truce with the Black Brothers, this would be really bad news for them. Alexandra is staring at Sylviana with eyes full of hatred, but the Light Witch doesn't seem affected at all. Are witches resistant to werewolves auras? Most likely. Sylviana is even staring back at her, her hand slowly caressing Liam's back. Liam, are you ok?

I will be once we get rid of those Gold Moon suckers...

Why didn't you tell me before? About Sylviana?

A lot of reasons. She said this is how things needed to happen.

Wait, do you mean she...

Can foresee the future? Yeah, somewhat. But it's not all crystal clear, you know. A grain of sand can totally change it all, so... Gotta be careful.

I nod slowly. I can't totally grasp all the details, but I guess that does explain a lot of Sylviana and Liam's previous actions. I glance towards Nathaniel. I still haven't been able to contact Elena at all, that's strange. Nate?

He turns his head towards me.

Have you heard from Elena? I can't reach her at all...

I told her not to come here. Not in her condition. Her friend Daniel is watching her.

Oh, so this is about pregnancy. Indeed, I wouldn't have wanted Elena anywhere near here. Things are way to tense for her pregnancy, and if it ends up into a fight... However, Nathaniel's face is so expressionless, I wonder what he really thinks about this baby. He doesn't seem too happy either....Don't tell me something went wrong between him and Elena? "You've got to be kidding me..."

All heads turn to Alexandra, who is staring at William with disgust. Did I miss something? My cousin is ignoring her, but he obviously just said something. Damian, too, is glaring at the Gold Moon Clan.

"Now would be a really wise time to shut up," growls Lissandra.

But Alexandra ignores her and points her finger at Damian while glaring at William.

"Don't tell me you're actually going to let this go!"

Sylviana is smiling, but I am not. My guts tell me things are about to get ugly. It's obvious the Gold Moon Clan was counting on William's hatred against Damian to work in their interest. A truce between the two would mean they can't attack the Blood Moon and expect any other support. However, they were obviously counting on it. Now, not only it's obvious William wouldn't fight Damian, but he might even side with him if they were to do anything. Andrew Jones and Tiffany Pearl look like they are fine with it too. Behind Alexandra, several Alphas look restless. They probably are reconsidering their options... But suddenly, she turns to me. Her eyes are full of hatred, and anger.

"You little whore... I should have killed you last time!" She yells

"You're welcome to try!" I growl back at her, and half of the other people present growling as well behind me.

Damian is the most furious one, but he's also the one to hold me back. He addresses to Taaron King and his daughter with a voice as cold as death itself.

"This is the last time I hear one of you insult my mate. The next time you do anything against her, I will have your whole Clan dead."

"See! This man is threatening us! He does not deserve to be..."

"For someone who has insulted the City's Luna more than twice to his face, you should even be lucky to be standing on your two feet, King," growls Nathaniel. Alexandra almost chokes up from hearing him.

"The City's Luna? Who?"

"Luna Blue Moon, granddaughter of Queen Diane, blessed child of Moon Goddess. She is a Princess to you, swine," mutters William, angered too.

Alexandra looks like she is about to go insane from anger. Her eyes go to the other Alphas, but no one apparently will contradict them. Most of them aren't showing any expression, but Lissandra is smirking while looking at Alexandra, and Old Man Seaver is shaking his head.

The Rising Moon Alpha looks a bit scared, hesitant, and she is staring at Alexandra like she's crazy.

"If you do not wish to ally with anyone else here, you are welcome to leave. But that embargo on the financial system hindering the others packs has to end by tomorrow, or I will take action," threatens Damian.

"Take action? You think you can take action, threaten us?"

Alexandra's tone suddenly changed. From craziness and anger, she suddenly went strangely calm. I look towards Sylviana, but the witch is frowning, visibly confused too. I turn to Damian, but my mate's eyes are on the Gold Moon Clan.

"You really think you're the strongest wolf, Black? You think no matter what, you can take us on?"

What is she thinking? Damian is indeed strong, but her speech is mocking him. I exchange a glance with Liam and Nate. Both brothers are on the look-out too. I hang on to my wolf, ready to shapeshift, but what is she thinking? Only the Rising Moon and lesser packs would support the Gold Moon, why would she act boldly right now? Alexandra and her father but might be manipulative but they are definitely smarter than bluntly provoking Damian... Especially when most of the packs are now supporting him! Next to Liam, Sylviana slowly crouches down, putting her fingers in the ground. Is she getting ready for an attack too?

On the sidelines, other packs are getting agitated too. They can sense something's not right, and Alexandra's attitude is too odd.

"I don't know what game you're playing, King, but you better leave now," growls Damian.

But she smiles in contempt.

"I don't think so. Do you think I'm actually that stupid, Damian? That I would have come here without some back-up plan? Sure, I had hoped things would go smoothly and you would have lost the Alpha King's spot in a peaceful manner, or with the Sapphire Moon's pressure, but... Every werewolf suddenly starts growling, something's about to happen. Alexandra looks way too confident. Damian pushes me behind him, and William and Bobo both get closer to us too. Nate moves to the side, shielding his little brother and Sylviana. Damian...

Stay behind me.

"Alexandra... This is my last warning."

She laughs to him and suddenly smiles.

"Too bad, mine is already over."

The next second, an explosion suddenly bursts from one side of the stadium. All heads turn in horror to witness wolves flying the flames, and screams are heard from all sides. Alexandra is still laughing when a second explosion bursts, closer this time. Bombs! They put damn bombs!

"Damian!"

I turn my head and see my mate, already in his wolf form, running towards Taaron King. I realize the whole Gold Moon clan started attacking the nearest wolves. Moon Goddess, this is hell!

I start running too, and Bobo is right behind me. Another explosion bursts a few meters from us, and the blast pushes me back, making me lose balance and fall to the ground. I need to get up, I need to join Damian! I struggle and start running again. Ashes and smoke are invading the stadium. People are growling and yelling everywhere. The whole stadium has become a war scene.

Nora, we need to help Damian!

I know!

I have no idea if Liam's voice came from my head or somewhere near me, but I don't have a second to stop. Gosh, where is Bobo? I lost him!

I suddenly spot Alexandra, fighting fiercely with a furious Lissandra. Both shape-shifted into their wolf form, and I jump between them as I leave my wolf to take over too.

Back way, Blue, this w***e is mine!

I don't know why is Lissandra so keen on killing here, but I can't leave them! Alexandra is the mastermind behind this, she has to die!

My wolf is so full of anger and hatred, the fierce fight is merciless. Alexandra is defending herself against the two of us, but she's definitely going to lose. Lissandra is not leaving her any way out, and I'm fighting like never before. My wolf is scratching her skin and biting her with any mercy, going wild. Lissandra suddenly yelps. Another wolf got her leg, and she's injured badly. She turns away to fight him off, but Alexandra suddenly loses focus thanks to that, and I go right for her throat.

I feel her blood on my fur. She suffocates, but my wolf fangs are not letting go. I bite harder, and her breathing is nothing but a little hiss.

You... think you... won, Blue?

Do you think I'm not going to kill you? I won't have mercy for you!

I don't... care... You will pay. He... will...

But I feel her wolf die before she finishes her sentence. What, what did she meant? Who will what, who was she talking about? Lissandra returns, lumping, and bites Alexandra's dead body out of anger. I let go of the corpse.

I need to get to Damian. Alexandra was about to die, but she seemed so sure... I start running, looking for my mate with growing fear inside. There are fighting wolves everywhere, but the Gold Moon is losing. Some werewolves ran away, others are injured. I come across corpses, but I can't stop to check. I've lost Bobo, even Liam. Everything is too confused, and the smoke is so dense I can only see a few meters ahead. Damian!

Nora! Where are you?

I follow his wolf's aura, and finally spot him! Damian's fine! I run towards him, and I feel his relief. Something shines from a corner. I'm almost at his side.

I keep running. Damian's right there, in front of me. I see his wolf run towards me, but something's wrong. He looks terrified. "NORA!!"

I hear a gunshot, and something red suddenly covers my vision.
